Sure - but there's also the simple idea of "Think Global, Act Local", 
which is a shockingly simple way of helping people get things done where 
they can be most effective.

That's funny - I generally see Tompkins County people as so obsessed 
with national and international issues that they have a hard time 
pausing to look around at their actual neighborhood.

Perhaps my perspective is made more extreme by my own conclusion that 
localization is a key part of dealing with what we're up against.

I guess I thought this list would be about the "Act Locally" side of 
things.  Frankly, if it's not, I'll depart.
